Android drawables and style: No resource found that matches name in styles.xml

Issue

When compiling my app, the following errors show up :

Error: No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'android:frameDuration'.
Error: No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'android:selectionDividerHeight'.   
Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:style/Widget.QuickContactBadgeSmall.WindowLarge'.      
Error: No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'android:foregroundInsidePadding'.
Error: No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'android:listItemLayout'.
Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:style/Animation.OptionsPanel'.

As I'm new to this, it's not obvious to me. I tried adding @android:style/, even removing the @, without changes to the result.

Here is styles.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    <item name="android:dropDownListViewStyle">@style/DropDownListView.Ab</item>

    <item name="android:dropDownListViewStyle">@style/DropDownListView.Ab</item>

</resources>

Can you please help me solving this.

Solution

No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'android:frameDuration'.
No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'android:selectionDividerHeight'.

Both those values should be integers, not drawables. Besides that, I'm not sure it makes sense to apply those values onto a Theme. The duration would be applied to a ProgressBar and the selectionDividerHeight to some variant of a an AdapterView such an ListView / GridView.

Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:style/Widget.QuickContactBadgeSmall.WindowLarge'.

Not sure about that... That theme definitely exists. Make sure you use @android:style/Widget.QuickContactBadgeSmall.WindowLarge

No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'android:foregroundInsidePadding'.
No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'android:listItemLayout'.

The only reference I can find for the insidePadding says its value is true/false, not a drawable.
I'm not sure about the listItemLayout, but there is a similar attribute only used by the IDE. An adapter is what is responsible for actually inflating the proper layout.

Error retrieving parent for item: No resource found that matches the given name 'android:style/Animation.OptionsPanel'

Again, this one also exists.
